Read the archives, Google'd to death and read the man pages on Rsync. Maybe
it's a little over my head here.
I downloaded Bruce's Rsync packages, they installed fine, daemon is showing
as running and created the /etc/rsyncd.motd, /etc/rsyncd.conf,
/etc/rsyncd.scrt files and believe we have the correct information in them.
We run a cron job to tar up /home/mysql/var and then we installed rsync on
our Debian server that is set aside as the backup server which we then pull
down backup from once a week to a CD burner on our Mac inside the LAN.
I can get the rsync to run and pull the files from our Raq4's as it should
but when running the command;
Rsync -e ssh -a 1ocean1.webpresencegroup.net:/home/rsync-mysql/
/home/rsync-backup/
All goes well except that I have to enter a password as the root/admin.
To place this in a cron won't work like this I am thinking, I read up on the
creation of new ssh keys, but that is where it gets fuzzy. Anyone one have a
laymen's how-to for us remedial folks :)
I am burnt on learning this last month with
sendmail/MailScanner/SpamAssassin stuff and was hoping for a easy how-to for
a change:))
Anyone ??
